For when it’s on you, not the kid.

Sometimes an assignment can't move forward until you talk to the teacher — a grading dispute, a missing attachment, a question about the rubric. Email Teacher parks it there so the kid view doesn't keep nagging.

Email Teacher is the polite admission that not every assignment is a kid problem. When you tap it, the card stops showing up as Missing on the kid’s side — your student isn’t being nagged about something that’s technically waiting onyou.

On the parent dashboard, Email Teacher assignments collect in their own small bucket. You can sweep through them on a Tuesday lunch break, send the emails you owe, then flip the status to Follow-Ups until you hear back or Verified once it’s sorted out.

Pearsight doesn’t send the email for you (yet). It just keeps track of which ones you owe and stops the dashboard from treating them as homework debt. The note you leave on the assignment carries into the email when you’re ready to write it.

Key facts

  • Moves the card off the kid view’s Missing list.
  • Collects in a parent-side bucket for batched cleanup.
  • Pair with a comment so you have the context when you write the email.
  • Flip back to Follow-Ups or Verified once the conversation resolves.
Email Teacher parks an assignment in Follow-Ups.

Pearsight is purchased by parents on behalf of their K-12 children. The paying parent (18+) creates the family account, which constitutes verifiable parental consent under COPPA for any child under 13 the parent enrolls. Kids do not sign up directly — their access is parent-paired only. See Privacy and Security for our full data-handling stance, including FERPA-aligned controls.
